0:00.0	What is up Freaks? Welcome back to Tales from the Cryptist, your boy Marty Bent, here on a beautiful, actually very ugly Thursday afternoon here in Brooklyn. It's raining. It's a bit chilly out. But guess what? First day of the Marsh Bandness tournament. I got Vermont versus Florida State on in the background. It's currently a tie game with two minutes left in the first.
0:23.0	Potential upset alert, 13 over 4.
0:25.6	Vermont is winning right, or excuse me, tied with Florida State right now.

1:21.6	Again, that's two or three multi-sig.
1:23.6	You hold two of the keys, so you always have control of your Bitcoin at any given point in time.
1:30.5	It's 100% cold storage. Get off the exchanges.
1:36.3	They're a risk if you have your stuff in a hardware wallet and you are the only signer.
1:40.8	Multi-sig, as we've been saying for the last few weeks, few months actually, is just a way to become more secure and have more certainty and then decrease the risks,
